ROCHESTER — Bootlegger’s Footwear Centers will sponsor “A Night of Dreams” Comedy Show IV to raise funds for Howie’s Field of Dreams. The show will be held at the Rochester Elks on Saturday, Jan. 26 and will feature three top Boston comics — Mike Prior, Jim Lauletta, and Harry Corcell.

All proceeds from the event are for the benefit of Howie’s Field of Dreams, a baseball field for young athletes with disabilities which is nearing completion at Roger Allen Park in Rochester. pening day for the field, three years in the making, is scheduled for June 1, 2013. The field has been an ongoing project of Rochester Rotary Charities with the assistance and support of Roger Allen Recreation Association, Roger Allen Baseball, and family and friends of Howard “Howie” Seckendorf.

Community support for the project has also been overwhelming and to date more than $225,000 in cash has been raised through a series of fundraisers, corporate and individual contributions, and grants. An equal sum has also been donated by businesses and volunteers through in-kind labor and materials providing the infrastructure on site which includes a building with handicapped accessible facilities, fencing, and a “Green Monster” wall.

Tickets to the Comedy show are $20 each and can be purchased at Granite Steak & Grill Restaurant, Windjammers Restaurant, Profile Bank Loan Center, and Wit-Way Supply. Tax deductible donations to the “Howie’s Field of Dreams” project can be made to the Rochester Rotary Charities, PO Box 779, Rochester, N.H.
